You don't say what the model number is – AC1900 is a speed tag rather than a model number – but the Asus claims a better WiFi spec than the Netgear's AC1750.
The R6350 also dates from 2018, so not that new.
Then there are the questions from Kitsap and plemans, especially the modem between the R6350 and the Internet. Did you reset that before introducing it to the new router?
